try: wc /root/dmd/lib/libphobos.a
this will fail if the current user cant read the file (as they shouldn't
if your not running as root, and if you are running as root, shame on you)
If your not sure where to put stuff, I have an install script that works
most of the time here
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/scrapple/trunk/scripts/dmd_update
be warned it will attempt to download dmd.zip from the web, so if that is
a problem (either you want a different version or you don't want to burn
the bandwidth again) you will want to tweak it. Either way there are a few
option at the top you might want to twiddle a bit (it attempt to save off
old copies of everything for instance)
And I just noticed I might be missing a few things, if you try it, please
tell me how well it worked.
